David Eckstein to Donate A Kidney

Eckstein would have donated a heart except that it’s too big for a normal human to accept.

In all seriousness, this is an amazingly selfless act that will put an emphatic end to Eckstein’s playing days. For as much as people stats people liked to make fun of Eckstein, he was actually a pretty good player who was a lot of fun to watch. The 36-year-old Eckstein finishes with a .280 average, 1,414 hits, and a career 7.6 GRIT/9 rating, third all time.

The Post Game has the full story.

Wow. Eckstein was a joy to watch at bat and in the field.
